A walled heiau, or temple, once stood here measuring 130 feet by 90 feet. It was dedicated to Kāne, a major god of Hawai‘i, Hulokoki, a bird god, and Kū-hai-moana and Ka-moho-ali‘i, two shark gods. Three hala-lihilihi-‘ula trees situated on the outside of the naupaka hedge mark the heiau perimeter.
